Obesity is the root of all diseases, and it is difficult to lose weight if you have weak genes! Recognize the 5 major obesity physiques, losing weight is no longer difficult

Obesity is the root of all diseases! According to a survey on obesity among Taiwanese, nearly 40% of women have the "pear-shaped obesity" with bloated hips and legs, while more than half of men have the "apple-shaped obesity" with beer bellies. Different obesity physiques are related to different weak genes. By managing weight according to the problem of weaker genes and the differences in obesity physiques, people can easily lose weight.

Professor Lin Jiajing of Ilan University pointed out that after the gene decoding in 2003, it has been confirmed that 150 genes in the human body are related to obesity. This survey found that there are 5 types of obesity physiques in Asians that are related to weak genes, including: UCP1 gene is related to "pear stubborn obesity physique", PPAR-γ gene is related to "water drop edema obesity physique", GNB3 gene is related to "donut soft obesity physique", ADRB2 gene is related to "apple candy type obesity physique", and ADRB3 gene is related to "apple lipid obesity physique".

Professor Emeritus Xie Mingzhe of Taipei Medical University pointed out that the two most common types of obesity in Taiwan are "pear stubborn type" and "apple lipid type". Women mainly have "pear stubborn type" physique. Most chronic diseases are related to this obesity physique, such as diabetes. As for men, they mainly belong to the "apple lipid type" physique, which includes liver disease and cirrhosis, which are closely related to beer belly. Regardless of the type of obesity, the common characteristics are lack of diet control, high stress in life, and slow metabolism, which increases the difficulty of weight loss.
